Charlotte Ravel, who studied Saturn's organic moon Titan while participating in APL's ASPIRE internship program, was recently selected as the 2021 Kershner scholarship recipient.

Sponsored by the Naval Submarine League and organized by APL, the 2021 Submarine Technology Symposium allowed military, industry and Laboratory leaders to once again gather — in person — to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the submarine force.

Nine years after NASA’s Van Allen Probes launched into space to study the radiation environment around Earth, APL gathered scientists and satellite operators from around the world to discuss the future of space weather research, including ways to protect astronauts and satellites. Here are their four big takeaways.

Four APL staff members recently graduated from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering's new doctor of engineering program. The graduation of the first cohort of Lab staff members was an important milestone for continuing education at APL.

The mother of all traffic jams could be on the horizon, and researchers at APL are working to create a crossing guard that’s up to the challenge.

The Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute honored APL researcher Parvathy Prem with the Susan Mahan Niebur Early Career Award, recognizing her contributions to space science and exploration.

NASA has given Princeton University, Johns Hopkins APL and their many partner institutions the go-ahead to begin implementing the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), a mission to sample, analyze and map particles streaming to Earth from the edges of interstellar space.

The DART spacecraft's recently installed Roll-Out Solar Arrays and DRACO imager are two critical technologies that will enable the spacecraft to navigate through space and effectively reach the Didymos system as part of a carefully planned asteroid deflection experiment.

APL planetary scientist Elizabeth “Zibi” Turtle has been awarded the inaugural Claudia J. Alexander Prize by the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences.
